We should know more about the cash situation in a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, all we will know is what SCO's cash position was at the end
of September. Not what it is now.
I expect we will also know if Bob Mimm's rumours of layoffs were correct.

the beginning of the end for SCOIBM Takes New Tack in SCO Legal Battle
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols Aug 17 2004
IBM is trying to knock out SCO's Linux intellectual property claims with
a new tactic.
[...]
"The focus of IBM's motion is not on the Unix System V code that SCO
claims IBM copied. It is instead on source code that IBM claims was
developed independently, is not subject to copyright infringement
claims, and so (says IBM) can freely be contributed to Linux." IBM does
not say, however, that it actually had contributed any code to Linux.

there's an isolated \end{indented} in your document (one not matched
by \begin{indented}, that is). text after the \end{indented} will
have been lost, which seems to contradict your "output ok" assertion...
not knowing what editor you use in development, it's hard to suggest
techniques; something as simple as searching for "{indented}" might be
good enough. backward search from the line number given in the error
message would be a start.

The hint is the error message text.
Your environments are not nested properly.

Because you broke LaTeX.
Use \newcommand\else{Oops} and find out.
Hell, you get bogus "Extra }" errors from fragile commands in moving
arguments, without even breaking LaTeX itself.
Some other attractive command names are \box, \output, \above, \count,
\day, \if, \mark, \number, \over, \read, ... all of which are fundamental
TeX commands, used internally.

Odd... I never knew about any "section" environment.
What's this?
You do not want to start a section (chapter, section, subsection, ...)

Where have you leanrt about this "\begin{section}" from?
Would you send out an example of your latex document?

The beginning of the end for google?The beginning of the end for google?
------------------------------------
Google has just 'innocently' agreed
to skew search results from not showing up
popular sites for media content to please
Hollywood.
This innocent move effectively puts 3rd parties in control
of the google search results.
The very same thing that killed all other search
engines because their politics and revenue streams
directly interfered with search results leading
to search results that have no connection to
end user expectations.
If 3rd parties are now in charge of google's
search results, I have no taste for it, and go elsewhere
for my search results.
If google can be bought, what's to say micorshaft or
some other company doesn't slip it a billion dollars
to skew search results in their favor.
Its worth more than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From that day on, Microsoft will lose at least half of all new sales to Linux and support for the Linux operating system by ISV's will increase markedly.

The short answer is no, unfortunately. The WB does bracket- and
parenthesis-matching, though, so this would be a good feature to add.
The tangential answer (which is not applicable here) is the WB provides
code templates which stub out control statement blocks. I have a short
demo video here:

Beginning of the End for AT&Tby Ross Wehner, The Denver Post
DENVER -- AT&T's shareholders -- at what will probably be their last
meeting -- are expected to approve a $16 billion merger with SBC
Communications in Denver on Thursday, forming the largest
telecommunications company in the nation.
The deal, together with the upcoming Verizon-MCI merger,
represents an unprecedented consolidation of the telecom industry.
Both deals are expected to gain regulatory approval in the next six
months to a year.
Denver-based Qwest dropped out of a bidding war for MCI last month
after the MCI board rebuffed it four times in favor of lower bids from
Verizon.
"Qwest faces added pressure after losing MCI," said Standard & Poor's
analyst Todd Rosenbluth. "Qwest is on the outside looking in at a
soon-to-be-consolidated telecom market."
Here's what the new telecom landscape will look like:
SBC and Verizon will be able to compete in Qwest's territory for
business customers by offering the two most far-reaching national
telecommunications networks.
They could poach Qwest's residential customers by bundling wireless
and long distance. They could offer Internet phone service over
Qwest's DSL lines at the same time as cable companies like Comcast
also are munching on Qwest's broadband customers.
SBC and Verizon already own the two largest wireless operations in the
United States and control nearly two-thirds of local phone lines

begin() & end() in STLHi, here's my problem:
Are you allowed to decrement an iterator that points to the begin() of
a container? If so, what does it equal then?
Code example:
typedef set<int> intset;
intset s;
intset::iterator t;
s.insert(3); s.insert(4); s.insert(1); s.insert(14);
t = s.begin();
t--;
I know there's a basic asymmetry between begin() and end(): begin()
points to the *first* element of a container, but end() points *past*
the last element.
This asymmetry is somewhat inconvenient for me, because I'm writing a
routine that starts fr...

Nothing prevents you from defining it:
\newcommand{\IF}{&\text{if }}
By the way, \bmod is wrong there; either \pmod{4} or \pod{4};
\bmod is for "binary mod operation", \pmod{4} prints "(mod 4)"
and \pod{4} prints "mod 4" (without parentheses). Spacing is
right only with \pmod or \pod.

You never stop testing. You "analyze" (meaning "guess") how much of each
kind to do, and then you release whenever the program passes all tests and
has new features.
And most of your tests should be automated. Again, you "analyze" to discover
how many.

I hope I understood your question correctly and you are asking about
when one end-to-end test ends and another begins. This is not a
trivial question. I prefer to look at the end-to-end testing as the
modeling of real user behavior. In order to build an effective end-to-
end test one needs to look at the system functions in a whole.
For example, if you are testing a text editor try the following
sequences for end-to-end testing:
1. Create new file -> Write text -> Change some text -> Save -> Change
some text -> Print -> Close the file -> Verify changes.
2. Open existing file -> change some text -> save changes -> open
another existing file -> find and replace -> print -> save -> close.
